Hey kids -

I've compiled all of your submitted survey questions into this survey. Please consider each question and choose one to develop tomorrow in a Dover Beach model poem.

Rate the significance of the following in terms of its influence on current culture and society:

1. The first African American president of the United States
2. The Rhianna/Chris Brown story / the Michael Phelps situation / the behaviors of under age entertainers such as Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan and their influence on today's teens and young adults
3. The current state of the economy
4. Global warming and its impact on weather, habitat and wildlife
5. The threat of terrorism stemming from the situation in the Middle East and the brewing situation in Mexico
6. The moral and ethical debate over issues such as stem cell research and abortion - are those issues personal or should the government be involved?
7. Genetically modified foods vs. organic foods
8. Pressure on today's students to not just achieve but to excel in all fields of study
7. The rising cost of college education and the pressure to attend a four year academic university - is it necessary for all students to go on to college?
8. How much control should parents have over their child's decisions and when should that control start/end?
9. Globalization and its benefits versus its downside, such as human trafficking
10. Our government's recent decisions: Socialist or Democratic?
